Brand: Sony
The Sony MZ-R700 is a high-performance portable MiniDisc (MD) player that was introduced by Sony in 1999. It was one of the top-of-the-line MD players at the time, boasting advanced features such as high-bit rate recording (up to 44.1 kHz), improved RF protection to prevent background noise, and Dolby Digital decoding for 5.1-channel surround sound playback (when connected to a compatible home theater system). Its sleek design, high-quality audio playback, and long battery life made it a popular choice among audiophiles and music enthusiasts. Unfortunately, MiniDisc as a format declined in popularity due to the rise of MP3 players and streaming services, and Sony discontinued MD players in 2011.
